Bear with me, I have been searching the interwebs for over 2 weeks now, posted to Facebook groups and had very little luck. This forum will hopefully be my savior.
Need some help: 98 Cobra w/ PSC1 that has been on the car since almost new. Car has ran like a beast the four years I've owned it. Last Sunday, I got on it a little bit and noticed what seemed like bogging coming back down the RPM. Drove fine for the next 25+ miles. Went to get on the highway, revved up to about 4,500, felt the boost, then bog... I slowed down and felt what almost seemed like a serious loss of power. Stalled, would hard start, but start. It was only 12 miles to get home, so I nursed it along. I noticed I had very little power to start off, but once I got to my cruising speed (50-60mph) it was OK. Certainly not how it was. I barely made it home. Longshort , I've lost power to the fuel pump, injectors and spark/ coils. But it will hiccup with starter fluid. I tried my second set of keys for the PATS and no flashing Theft lamp. I am going with a module being failed, but not sure which direction as the internet has every sensor and computer to replace/ test, etc... I'm very mechanically inclined, but this is my first 4.6l and my first major issue with it. I'm a little puzzled at the moment because it happened so suddenly.
